Mmeso Inspires: What will Love do now

What will love do now?

When you left me in the middle of the deep blue sea,

And you chose Agbavu over and over again,

Under my rightful eyes.

What will love do now?

When you travelled the seven rivers of Banda kingdom to see her,

While I lay in the shrine of Medusa,

Battling between life and death,

Tell me Nwokeike,

What will love do now?

In the critical moment of my life,

When your love was too weak to carry my burden,

And your kind soul never provided a succour,

Your patience smile quickly vanished away,

So soon, your understanding heart failed me,

And I was left to grope in the ocean of your own betrayal,

What will love do now?

You said I should forgive,

You said I should forget and forgo,

Because of the love we once shared,

You promised to love me forever,

And to take away the pain you caused me in loads,

If love is all you’ve got for me, Nwokeike,

Tell me,

What will it do now?

There are days when love will not be there,

When my pretty face will be too weak to save me,

And my beautiful body will not be strong enough to parade itself,

That is when your love for me will be truly tested,

What if my elegance is stolen by the sweet pangs of motherhood,

Won’t you remain steadfast, Nwokeike?

At this point I’m leaving with no intention of returning to you,

But,

If I forgive and stay back,

What will love do now?
